Understanding Texas Visitation & Custody Laws

When you have custody of a child in Texas, it is said that you have “possession”
of that child. Conversely, if you only have visitation rights instead
of possession, you have “access to” the child. A parent with
access to a child will be given an access schedule that outlines exactly
when they can spend time with the child. You and your spouse can create
this access schedule together, or the court will create it if you cannot
agree on one.

Visitation rights are determined by the court, which prioritizes the child’s
well-being.

Factors that can affect a court’s visitation rights decision include:

The age of the child

Each parent’s abilities to care for the child

Any instances of abuse

Location of the parents

The child’s health

Our El Paso family lawyer has years of experience helping parents handle
disputes regarding visitation rights. We will tailor our approach to your
case with you and your child in mind.

Out of State Visitation

When parents relocate after a divorce or live in different states, they
can receive out of state visitation rights. A long distance visitation
schedule is created specifically to account for the geographical distance
between the parents. Rather than scheduling weekend visits, it may be
necessary to schedule longer, more spaced out visits, like during summer
vacations and holidays. We will work closely with you to help you acquire
visitation rights and develop a visitation schedule no matter where you live.
